Satisfy your sweet tooth – the healthy way

We all get the odd craving for sweet things – or perhaps maybe yours strikes a little more frequently. It can be really difficult to put down a pint of Ben & Jerry’s once you scoop out a serving, so instead, try this healthier version made with frozen bananas. There’s also matcha in the mix for a powerful hit of antioxidants and lasting energy – and that’s better than any temporary sugar high!

Vegan Banana Walnut Matcha Ice Cream

Prep Time: 5 mins + freezing
Cook Time: 0 mins
Serves: 2-3

Ingredients

  • 1 scoop French vanilla Vega One or vanilla Vega Performance Protein (or your favourite plant-based protein powder)
  • 2 tsp matcha powder
  • 2 large ripe peeled bananas, chopped (see note)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • ½ cup almond milk
  • ½ cup walnut pieces

Instructions:

  • Combine all ingredients except for the walnut pieces in a Vitamix (or other high-speed blender) or food processor. Puree until smooth.
  • (Note: If using frozen bananas, you can skip the freezing step ahead and enjoy the ice cream as soft serve. If using non-frozen, you’ll want to freeze or else the mixture will have a smoothie-like consistency.)
  • Pour the banana mixture into a freezer-safe container.
  • Stir in the walnut pieces and close the container with a lid.
  • Freeze the ice cream for around 3 hours. If you need to freeze it for longer, simply leave the container out on the counter for about 15 minutes to defrost slightly.
  • Scoop into bowls, top with additional walnuts if desired and enjoy!
